Re: pumpkin flower eaters?


Michael,

Summer squash and zucchinni flowers are better for eating. Pick the flowers
leaving a 2'' stem. Wash flowers and pat dry. Coat flowers with seasoned
flower. ( salt, pepper and garlic.) Shake off excess flower. In saute pan put
enough olive oil to cover the bottom of pan. Turn heat on medium. ( Do not
over heat olive oil as it kills the flavor of the oil.) Crack an egg and whip
it up. Add some fresh, very fine choped parsley to the eggs. Holding the stem
dip flower into egg mixture. Holding stem let excess egg run off. Place
flower into saute pan and saute each side till light golden brown. If you
really want to make it special, stuff the leaves with ricotta
cheese and follow the same procedure as above. Serve with a light pesto cream
sauce.

Bon Appetit
